Sydney to get £330 million Chinese-themed amusement park
Australia's iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge are set to be joined by a new landmark after a council approved a £330 million, 15-hectare Chinese-themed park including a full-sized replica of the gates to Beijing's Forbidden City.

My question: What "theme" would you like for a similar park in Qatar :O)

The sprawling park, to be built in Wyong Shire, about 50 miles north of Sydney, will also feature a nine-story temple housing a giant Buddha and a mini-city modelled on Chinese water towns.

The project is designed to help tap into the lucrative Chinese tourist market. More than 400,000 Chinese tourists visit the state of New South Wales each year.

I am not sure if there is a amusement park here. If not then to start with how about a Qatari themed amusement park to showcase to the tourists and to some extent us expats...:)
